To near Fredericksburg
To near FredericksburgI woke to the sound of birdsong this morning... that in itself isn't unusual, since my body has gotten used to that sign of approaching dawn... but this time I was wearing earplugs to block the sound of Interstate traffic, and I still heard the birds!
I rode US-1 all day long. Its shoulders were rare and narrow, but at least it had multiple lanes, and traffic was light. I was pleased to see that tonight's stop was a few miles away from the Interstate, and when I got there -- down in a valley -- the silence was just amazing. The campground offers free Internet -- they even supply a computer, like a hostel -- and I got a great site next to a babbling brook, but still I almost choked on the price. If I average it with yesterday's bargain, I can handle it. I guess I have to expect that this close to a major metro area.
